Celebrating 10 years since its debut on Broadway, Sara Bareilles’ Waitress is touring the UK with Durham-born Emma Lucia putting on the apron for a week of performances at Sunderland Empire. Waitress is based on a 2007 film and follows talented baker Jenna as she deals with a complicated combination of an abusive marriage, an unexpected pregnancy, and her hot new obstetrician. Emma Lucia is simply breathtaking as she takes over the role from Carrie Hope Fletcher for the Sunderland leg of the tour.
